When should I notify?

As soon as possible after the incident. The One Umbrella policy requires staff to notify within 24 hours of an incident regardless of whether an injury resulted from the incident.

What type of incidents should be reported?

All WHS related incidents should be reported, including incidents in the workplace that have resulted in injury to an employee, those with the potential to cause injury (ie perceived hazards)and any bullying or harassment issues. By reporting WHS incidents appropriate support and corrective actions can be initiated to prevent further incidents.

What happens following my notification?

If the incident results in injury, you will be contacted by your Return to Work Coordinator and Clarius Groups’ insurer.

A return to work plan will be developed to ensure that the duties you are performing are appropriate in relation to your injury. The One Umbrella will assist you in the return to work process by:

Organising suitable duties for you while you are recovering from injury

Providing appropriate return to work support while you recover from your injury and assisting you back to your normal duties in a safe and timely manner

NOTE: It is not enough to notify your workplace manager/supervisor of your injury. Failure to notify The One Umbrella directly via your Return to Work Coordinator may result in a delay in compensation entitlements. Remember, as a contractor you are an employee of The One Umbrella and all compensation claims must be made via your employer.
